  • ⅔ cup dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, cut into ½-inch pieces

  • 1 tbsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp cocoa powder

  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion, sweet potato and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the drained beans, corn, chiles, and tomato to the pot. Stir to combine. Add in 4 cups of the bean liquid and bring to a simmer. Stir in the vinegar, brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, and white pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mixture thickens a bit. Season to taste.
  4. Serve topped with cheese or sour cream.
